Blackbird

Your motorcycle jacket doesn’t have to make you look like you’ve just set the fastest lap at Phillip Island or ridden around the world with Charley Boorman.

Blackbird Motorcycle Wear is now making fashionable motorcycle jackets that offer all the abrasion and crash protection for the road, but can still be worn to a fancy restaurant. It’s the brainchild of former Sydney interior designer Belinda McPhee with the help of her three adult children (Belinda, 20, Eliza 17 and Sam 22) and husband Peter who all ride.
